I first met Jessica through her work with Running Start and Women Under Forty PAC, as I began my campaign for Congress in 2012. Her encouragement and support during what was a tough campaign was very helpful. Over the years, I’ve continuously been impressed by her creative ideas, finding new ways to be effective, and especially her passion for mentoring and supporting women of all ages as they seek to serve in public office and in politics. Jessica is someone whose experience spans a broad spectrum, and whose leadership will serve as an asset to any organization.
